School Street Access Permits – Terms and Conditions

The Council is implementing School Streets to create safer, healthier, calmer spaces outside schools at the start and end of the school day. They can apply to a whole street, part of a street or several roads.

During School Street operating hours, vehicle access is restricted to help create a safer environment for children. However, some vehicles are allowed access if it's essential and this is prescribed in the Traffic Regulation Order for each School Street.

Vehicles that are exempt from the restricted hours are to be issued with a digital permit to ensure that authorisation can be demonstrated to either marshals on site, or to prevent enforcement action where Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) enforcement cameras are installed.

Effective management and enforcement of these digital permits requires an operational update to the Council’s On-Street Parking Permit Terms and Conditions.
